RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
True Patriots
While you’re deriding Joe Biden
With your childish chants
And inept comparisons
Remember that it was Biden
Who withdrew from a twenty-year war
That Bush the younger started
And two successors failed to stop
We were the invaders then
And we answered the call
We were the occupiers then
And we took to the streets
Several million strong
Now you serve as cheerleaders
For the despicable Russian despot
As he bombs and bulldozes
His democratic neighbor
Now as the missiles fly over Kiev
You wonder which side to take
Or whether to take sides at all
Look to the streets of Moscow
Where the people rise in protest
Where they risk their lives for others
For the cause of freedom
For the hope of democracy
Look to the people of Ukraine
Who hunker down in resistance
To the foreign invaders
This is the face of patriotism
These are the hearts and souls
Of true patriots
